I'm ordering a custom torque converter soon and will need to provide the vehicle weight to the converter builder and wanted to see if anyone here from actual experience or trustworthy knowledge knows what a 1956 Dodge post coupe weighs at the curb? A hardtop will be close enough as well. I'm aware of the 3,400 lbs. curb weight floating around online but would like to confirm it.

I'd appreciate bypassing needing to winch the car onto the trailer in the middle of a Colorado winter and drive it to a truck scale to weigh it. Thanks for the help.

Thanks a lot, Dave. That's a trustworthy enough document for me.

Using the D63-1 (post coupe) and numbers I've personally weighed or have confirmed, here's where I'm at:

Original Shipped:      3435
A-block engine:          -70 (replaces factory poly 270)
TorqueFlite 727:         -70 (replaces factory PowerFlite)
1996 Dakota IFS Clip: -30 (replaces OEM suspension/steering)
Ford 8.8" Rear Axle:   +30 (replaces OEM axle)
Rear Wheels/Tires:     +30 (15" x 8" steel replace OEM)
Drive Shaft:                +15 (3.5" dia slip-yoke shaft replaces OEM)
Exhaust:                    +50 (headers, dual exhaust, crossover)
Half tank gas:            +54 (using half as average street and race use versus full tank)
2 quarts motor oil:      +14 (additional for 8-quart capacity)
4 quarts ATF:              +28 (additional for deep pan, spin-on filter)
1 gallon coolant:         +08 (additional for large-capacity radiator)

Approx. Curb Weight: 3,494

I know there's some weight hiding (larger gauge battery and alternator cables, etc.), so I think a curb weight of around 3,500 - 3,600 is where I'll be. Certainly no A-body, but it'll be a fun drive.
